Braves transferred LHP Robert Fish from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.

Braves placed LHP Robert Fish on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 26, with left elbow tendinitis.

Fish made three appearances this spring before being shut down due to soreness. The 24-year-old left-hander was selected from the Angels in December's Rule 5 Draft, but the Braves get to keep him around as long as he's on the disabled list. Mon, Apr 2, 2012 04:15:00 PM

Braves selected LHP Robert Fish from the Angels in the Rule 5 draft.

Fish was also selected in last year's draft but was unable to crack the 25-man roster. He finally was able to get some results this past season with that nice arm of his, holding a 3.26 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 41/18 K/BB ratio over 30 1/3 innings at Double-A. The 23-year-old can touch the mid-90s with his fastball and flashes and average, albeit inconsistent, curveball. He'll try to win a spot in the Braves pen. Thu, Dec 8, 2011 11:07:00 AM

He appealed so that he could start Friday, but he'll serve two games of the suspension this season and three next year. It won't affect Cole at the beginning of next season if he is part of the Nationals' rotation.
